Tuition fee for Oria Journalism is around 37K rupees and for English Journalism is around 87K rupees. The fees structure is affordable when compared to other private colleges. Also, the value that this degree adds to one's CV is totally worth the cost. But in first six months you got a chance to become trainee as various media companies where you get around 20k rupees per month as stilend.

So, in my opinion it is not that expensive you will recover your tuition fee from doing trainee job in first six months.
